The text states that it is unknown whether spiders can fart.

Infact verdict: Mixed (48/100).

The claim that 'nobody knows whether spiders fart' is addressed by various sources. Some suggest that while spiders release gas, it is primarily due to expelling digestive by-products, not like human flatulence. No authoritative scientific evidence exists to confirm spiders farting in the same way as humans. Therefore, the claim is somewhat supported by niche discussions but lacks definitive scientific backing.
